Our journey with distribution began in 2017 with a conviction to find our audience. At first, it was exciting to be selected by film festivals, travel around the world, receive appreciation and gather awards. It was gratifying to engage in meaningful dialogue with audiences, and to witness our films' impact first-hand. Very soon, we realised that making and exhibiting independently produced documentary films is not financially viable. Yet, we loved it so much that we just had to find a way!

​

Now, after several years of experiments with distribution for our own films, we have gained great insights into this crucial stage of the documentary film value chain. We continue to discover new avenues and markets for our films, and are now ready to extend professional distribution services to South Asian documentary filmmakers based around the world.

​

Our larger vision is to support filmmakers in the Global South to become truly independent, and to empower them to tell stories that matter in their own unique voices.
